Last year an un-conference was coordinated in Auckland by Suzie Vesper ( See more here and listen to a VoiceThread reflection from participants). We have had a number of informal requests to repeat this get together or 'unconference' so have decided to try it out on a Saturday, this time in a school venue that will be open from 10am. You are invited to turn up whenever suits you. The venue will be open till 4pm. We will again base this on the OpenSpace Meeting Format.
It could be useful for people who are thinking of attending to have some idea of who might be there and areas of interest. This wiki is unprotected and you are invited to add your details below. There is no commitment as we are acknowledging the openspace rule... "Whoever comes is the right people: this alerts the participants that attendees of a session class as "right" simply because they care to attend."
We would like to acknowledge a number of schools who offered their space as a venue. Pt England School is wireless and on the loop which will support the spontaneous grouping and events of the moment that occur in an informal gathering . There will be data-projectors and speakers available in some locations too.
Purpose
The purpose of this e-Learning unconference is to both learn and contribute. It is based on the Open Space Meeting Format. No real agenda has been set and it will be up to you to determine the focus for the sessions. Grow your learning network and have fun!

Pedagogy, ict to support learning, web2.0 tools to support learning, e-portfolios, thinking and thinking skills, digital pedagogies, global collaboration, or anything else that anyone is talking about ....
Pedagogy, web 2 tricks, practical application and how to actually go back and teach others the tricks without staff feeling overwhelmed or even how 2 get staff to understand WHY we know what WE know is THE future direction.
Practical ways teachers can link learning to effective and meaningful use of ICT tools within the context of a 21st century learning environment. Would like to hear from others who have found ideas which have worked well in a busy classroom environment.
Specific stories about the impact on student learning and change/progress recorded beyond the observables of attitude and behavior. More like Dorothy's research.
Sarah's interested in elearning .... pedagogy, web 2.0 stuff, using technology to engage students......
